Well as most of you know we are now officially the proud parents of two beautiful Ukrainian angels. The plan the entire adoption was for us to return to Italy so we could travel to the U.S. on a military flight. We planned this to cut down on costs. I first contacted the Italian Embassy 2 months ago and to make a long story short,they did not respond to my many emails after the initial response. Our agency even had Niko go and speak with the Visa man. He never would give a clear answer and would say basically...domani..or tomorrow. So as we were planning to leave for Kiev on Monday I emailed and tried to call again. This time he responded but said that there is alot involved and that it would take 10 business days to make a decision to approve the visa application. With the Italian, and Ukrainian holidays and the embassy being closed every Friday, finding out their decision would be on January 18TH!!! Not only do we NOT have any money to pay for food and apartment, but we also will not have healthcare for our kids which they desperately need!!! We know it is Christmas, and many of you already helped us pay for this adoption, but we are here and all we can do is ask. Every cent will help us, even if you only have $10.00. We have called as well as looked online for tickets and the cost tonight is $2,900.00 for all of us to get to the states with the babies on our laps. I am hoping the ticket does not go up, but this is all in God's hands. We are just asking.
We set up a PAYPAL account so we can raise the funds to purchase our plane tickets. If you can give please go to paypal and our account is under Tylers email which is 2turb0gt@gmail.com. That should be all you need to add funds to our account. If you do not have a paypal account you will need to set one up. If you have USAA it is free and you can call to wire the money.Thank you in advance if you are able to help us!! Friends in Italy please know this is not what we planned or wanted...we were so excited to show you our beautiful family that God used you to help build. We pray there is some way the kids and I can come see you. To family and friends in the states, we are excited to see you, even if it is sooner than planned. Thank you all again and please keep praying for us!!
p.s. we have contacted paypal to be able to have a fundraiser button on our facebook page and blog!
Goldrenrule travel just emailed us back. They can get us tickets for $2,134.36 if we book by tomorrow!!! And we have already received $20.00!! Praising God for each and every cent!!
